Sure its up and running on the 3rock mast for the past 6-8weeks not sure if any customer equipment is in place yet. (Weekend it went into the 3rock mast my connection went to **** and has been so since)

u on rte or 3 rock?

Red Alert

it would probably help if they read the manual. Dodge City Broadband company would do a better job, get those idiots out of here.

What is Wi max anyway?

Google is a wonderful thing:

http://www.intel.com/netcomms/technologies/wimax/

It will prob be a new service. Will require new equipment anyway.

IBB couldn't deploy a fart after three plates of beans.

Red Alert

No i suspect they'll flog it to other hapless bozos and then claim that they're having 'technical difficulties. barefaced pricks.

Sorry. Didn't seem that way to me.

I'm just off the phone to IBB tech support... again. This guy (and he was quite helpful i have to say) just didn't seem to know much about the technicalities of the connections. I told him i was getting upwards of 30% packetloss and he told me there was no packetloss between my radio and the highsite, therefore the problem must be my connection to the highsite, and i'd have to be moved to a different highsite. :rolleyes:

Still, i'll be ringing back tomorrow, hopefully getting put through to secondline this time, or failing that i'll ring the main IBB reception and ask there to be put through to a manager type person. This is rediculous! Unusable connection more than 60% of the time i try to use it.

Well I was, as an explination would not only benifit me but others who read this thread. Im assuming its some new wireless protocall made by intel. But seeing as I dont know what protocol im even on now with my current IBB it all means little to me.

In layman’s terms currently they can only get 4 mbs up and down on a particular frequency. When your on the 2mb package on a 24:1 ration chances are your there with 48 people at that frequency.

Wi-max goes up to 54mvs per sec. But knowing Irish bb that means they will do a big advertising campaign and fob off most of there customers.

I don’t suppose anybody has tried to get in touch with the investors. I mean anybody who has in anyway tried to deal with the customer service has come away saying “that’s it the contract is not going to be renewed”. I think this is an issue that has worrying consciences for a company’s future.

Thanks thats a fair enough explanation.

Thing i never get about contention is I have often gotten the full 2 meg down. I cant be the only one of 24 people having their share of the pie can I?

irlrobins

they might have enough capacity to give you the full 2 Meg. Prehaps if they sign on more people to your mast/area then the capacity for full 2 megs becomes full and then you'll start to see a drop in speed.
